Almyra Hotel, Cyprus

A rare combination of sleek designer decor with a genuinely child-friendly ethos and caring staff, the beachfront Almyra a short walk outside Paphos in Cyprus is a place to come for luxury family holidays and breaks offering true relaxation for parents. The adults-only pool and spa is backed up by excellent childcare, a lovely private beach and great food. ‘Garden-view’ rooms at the rear can suffer resort noise so opt for a sea-view.
